spurred on homebuyers in November as Realtors sold 990 residential properties, compared with 891 in November 2014, an increase of 11.1 per cent. The five-year average for November sales is 944.

"Mild temperatures in November, combined with increased activity post-election, were key factors in the Ottawa resale market performing exceptionally well in November," says David Oikle, President of the Ottawa Real Estate Board. "The positive increase in condo sales may be explained by buyers moving to Ottawa to accept positions with the new government. There may have also been some pent up demand of people who chose to sit on the sidelines until after the election was over."

November's sales included 199 in the condominium property class, and 791 in the residential property class. The condominium property...
